嗯，我妈昨天把工作给丢了。

A：I'm sorry to hear that. Well, I heard that registered urban unemployment rate reached 4 percent this year,with more than half being women.

真抱歉。嗯，我听说今年城镇居民的失业率达到4%，而其中一半以上都是女的。

人才市场供大于求，女性总的来说还是处于劣势。

A：Yeah, it's true. What is she going to do?

嗯，我妈打算去小区里给人打扫卫生或看孩子什么的。

A：That's not bad. It could be a short-term alternative. Your mum can look for another one when the market improves. Things will work out eventually.

那也不错。先暂时找个工作干着。等形势好转了再找个好的。事情最终都会解决的。

B：Thank you.I just hope she won't feel pressed.

谢谢了。我只希望她能心情好点儿。
